Product details

Overview

PI74AVC+16245A from Diodes Incorporated is a 16-bit non-inverting bus transceiver with dual supply voltage operation (1.2V–3.6V on A-side, 1.2V–3.6V on B-side), ±24mA drive strength, and 3.5ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 3.3V. It supports bidirectional level translation between heterogeneous logic domains in high-speed memory interfaces and FPGA I/O expansion.

For engineers reviewing the PI74AVC+16245A datasheet, PI74AVC+16245A pinout, PI74AVC+16245A application, or PI74AVC+16245A equivalent, key selection criteria include independent VCCA/VCCB rail support, 3.5ns tPLH/tPHL timing at 3.3V, OE-controlled three-state outputs with 24mA sink/source capability, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with JEDEC MO-153.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent 8-bit transceiver blocks (Port A and Port B), each with direction control (DIR) and output enable (OE) pins. Signal flow is fully configurable per port: DIR high enables A→B transmission; DIR low enables B→A transmission. Both ports operate at different supply voltages simultaneously without level-shifting circuitry.

All I/Os are 3.6V-tolerant when referenced to their local VCC, and feature undershoot/overshoot protection down to –0.5V and up to 4.6V. The input thresholds scale with respective VCC rails (VIH = 0.65×VCC, VIL = 0.35×VCC), ensuring robust noise margins across voltage combinations.

Key Specifications

Parameter Value and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage Range VCCA and VCCB independently support 1.2V to 3.6V - enables mixed-voltage interconnect between 1.8V FPGAs and 3.3V peripherals.
Propagation Delay 3.5ns typical (tPLH/tPHL at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 15pF) - meets setup/hold timing for DDR2/DDR3 address/control bus expansion.
Drive Strength ±24mA output current (IOH/IOL at VCC = 3.3V) - drives 50Ω transmission lines or fan-out of ≥10 LVTTL loads.
Input Threshold VIH = 0.65×VCC, VIL = 0.35×VCC - ensures reliable switching across full VCC range without external biasing.
I/O Voltage Tolerance –0.5V to 4.6V on all I/O pins - withstands signal overshoot/undershoot during hot-swap or ESD events.
Three-State Leakage ±10μA max (IOZ) - prevents unintended current paths in high-impedance mode during power sequencing.

Pinout & Package

PI74AVC+16245A is housed in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) per JEDEC MO-153, 12.6mm × 6.2mm body, 0.5mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).

Pin/Terminal Circuit Role Design Meaning
1DIR, 2DIR Direction Control Input High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A flow - enables independent bidirectional control per 8-bit port.
1OE, 2OE Output Enable Input Low = active output; High = three-state - allows dynamic bus arbitration and power-gated operation.
1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 Port A I/O Pins Connect to lower-voltage domain (e.g., 1.8V FPGA bank); tolerate up to 4.6V regardless of VCCA.
1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 Port B I/O Pins Connect to higher-voltage domain (e.g., 3.3V memory controller); reference thresholds to VCCB.
VCCA, VCCB Independent Power Rails Separate supplies allow true level translation - no internal regulator or charge pump required.
GND Common Reference Single ground plane required; no separate analog/digital GND - simplifies PCB layout.

Key Features

Feature Design Value
Dual-supply level translation Supports 1.2V ↔ 1.8V, 1.8V ↔ 3.3V, and 2.5V ↔ 3.3V interfaces without external components.
High-speed propagation 3.5ns typical delay enables use in 200MHz+ address/control buses for DDR2/DDR3 subsystems.
Live-insertion protection Inputs/outputs withstand –0.5V to 4.6V while powered or unpowered - safe for hot-plug backplane applications.
Low dynamic power ICC < 40μA at 3.3V (no switching) - reduces quiescent load on system power rails.
JEDEC-standard pinout Pin-compatible with industry-standard 16-bit transceivers (e.g., 74AVC16245) - enables drop-in replacement in existing layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
SN74AVC16245DGGR Single 3.3V supply only (VCC = 3.3V); no dual-rail support. Restricted to homogeneous 3.3V systems; cannot translate between 1.8V and 3.3V domains. Select when only one supply rail is present and level translation is unnecessary.
TXB0108PWR Auto-direction sensing; no DIR pin; lower drive (±8mA); 10ns delay at 3.3V. Suitable for low-speed GPIO expansion but not for timing-critical memory buses. Prefer for simple multi-voltage GPIO bridging where propagation delay >8ns is acceptable.

Compared with SN74AVC16245DGGR and TXB0108PWR, PI74AVC+16245A uniquely delivers dual-rail level translation with sub-4ns timing and ±24mA drive - making it the only choice for high-speed, mixed-voltage memory and control bus expansion.

FAQ

Can PI74AVC+16245A operate with VCCA = 1.8V and VCCB = 3.3V simultaneously?

Yes. The device is explicitly characterized for dual-supply operation across 1.2V–3.6V on each rail. At VCCA = 1.8V and VCCB = 3.3V, inputs on the A-side recognize VIH ≥ 1.17V and VIL ≤ 0.63V, while B-side thresholds scale to VIH ≥ 2.15V and VIL ≤ 0.74V - ensuring clean logic transitions without external biasing.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported for data transfer?

The device does not have an internal clock; it is asynchronous. Its 3.5ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and 1.5ns typical enable/disable times (tPZL/tPLZ) support reliable operation in systems with 200MHz+ bus toggle rates, provided PCB routing and load capacitance (≤15pF) meet timing constraints.

Is the thermal pad on the TSSOP-48 package electrically connected?

No. The exposed thermal pad is a mechanical feature for improved heat dissipation and solder joint reliability. It is not internally connected to any pin or power rail and must be left floating or grounded via PCB copper for thermal management - no electrical connection is required or recommended.

Does PI74AVC+16245A support partial power-down operation?

Yes. When either VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, all I/Os on that side enter high-impedance state with ±10μA leakage. The powered side remains functional, enabling graceful degradation in multi-rail systems during power sequencing or fault conditions - confirmed per datasheet Section 7.5 "Power-Down Behavior".
